“Mr. Mahdessian was skiing down the Suntanner Trail toward the mountain lodge when he suddenly and without warning encountered an unmarked, manmade, hazard,” the papers claimed. “Plaintiff collided with this unmarked, manmade hazard and fell. He heard a loud internal cracking sound upon impact.” John reported that he was “skiing in control” and had “no advance warning of the presence of the manmade hazard, and thus has no reasonable opportunity to avoid skiing into it.”
